Dreams Of 75 = 2 CD, Digipack = (CD)
Lothar Jahn's 'February '75' single was released by the German label Sound Records in 1977. It was a very unusual record, somewhere between psychedelic, folk, and krautrock. It was reviewed thus on Discogs: "A mysterious journey through cosmic psych folk kraut, whatever you may call it. Fantastic, from beginning to end. Another kraut on 45 milestone." The newly recorded album, 'Dreams Of 75,' is an extended riff on the original single, taking that smaller vision as a starting point and then launching into a weirder and wilder psychedelic/progressive stereoscopic headspace than was evident (or possible) on the original single. Both the rare single and the new album are included in this very limited 2xCD digipack edition. So, who is Lothar Jahn? He is a singer/songwriter, presenter and multi-instrumentalist who has been active in the German music scene since the early 1970s. Since 2020, Jahn has his own television show, Lothar's Liedertreff. He was in German rock band PTHR, and later, in the folk band Jaw-Bone. His musical spectrum ranges from rock to folk to chanson to historical music performance. He is considered a specialist in the field of medieval music, and has been responsible for the web platform Minnesang.com for many years. And what were Jahn's dreams of '75? "They were wistful dreams of boundless love, community and peace, boundless sex, boundless freedom and a lot of wonderful music.
